Field studies were made on the herbaceous medicinal plants of Haramosh and Bugrote valleys. Folk medicinal uses of herbs in these valleys have helped people prevent and cure various diseases such as rheumatism, asthma, diabetes, blood pressure, stomach problems, abdominal problems etc. The most common medicinal herbs found in the region belong to the families Labiatae, Compositae, Ranunculaceae, Umbelliferae and Gentianaceae. In the present paper 98 herbaceous plant species are reported on the basis of information gathered from local peoples of both valleys. Out of 98 plants 21 are cultivated and 77 are wild.
